GTKY - Cleaning
Since the PP seems like a lot of variances of "cleaning" so this might be a new one to do. Also, include favorite brands or recipes for cleaners if you do natural or make your own!
How often do you:
dust
vacuum
do dishes
wipe kitchen counters
laundry
change sheets
mop
clean toilets
clean windows (inside)
clean windowsills (inside)
Do you clean a little at a time (like do all of one bathroom one day and the next do the other? etc.) or clean all at once?

Do you clean a little at a time (like do all of one bathroom one day and the next do the other? etc.) or clean all at once?
I would prefer to clean all at once. I'd rather have a clean house than one clean room at a time - it would feel like that's all I'm doing
dust - I try to do it weekly, but at worst case once per month.
vacuum - We don't have any carpets/rugs.
do dishes - Nightly or EO night.
wipe kitchen counters - Nightly
laundry - A couple loads per week for towels, and DH's uniforms. I wash my clothes once a month maybe and Skyler's every 10 days or so.
change sheets - Weekly
mop - Once or twice a month
clean toilets - Weekly or biweekly depending on how busy we are.
clean windows (inside) - I just did this 2 weeks ago, but it was my second time doing it since we moved in November.
clean windowsills (inside) - Same as above.
Do you clean a little at a time (like do all of one bathroom one day and the next do the other? etc.) or clean all at once? -
I usually dust, clean bathrooms, change sheets, sweep and put on a load of laundry all at once. If I'm focused I can do this all in less than an hour. Then I get DH to mop. Sometimes I will just sweep and mop on a random evening if it hasn't gotten done and the floors are gross.
We have cleaners who come about once a month. I am NOT a housekeeper...you might not like my answers!
How often do you:
dust once a month or less
vacuum rarely. DH does this
do dishes every night or every other night
wipe kitchen counters a few times a week
laundry every other day
change sheets once a month or less
mop once a month or less
clean toilets a few times a week
clean windows (inside) twice a year
clean windowsills (inside) twice a year
Do you clean a little at a time (like do all of one bathroom one day and the next do the other? etc.) or clean all at once? Mostly a little at a time
dust twice a week
vacuum. Twice a week
do dishes. Every night. I don't run the dishwasher if its not full but there are usually no dishes on the counter when I go to bed.
wipe kitchen counters every night after I do the dishes
laundry one load every week day.
change sheets every 2 to 3 weeks
mop once a week
clean toilets once a week
clean windows inside whenever they look dirty, maybe once a month
clean windowsills inside same as windows
Do you clean a little at a time like do all of one bathroom one day and the next do the other? etc. or clean all at once? I do a little bit each week day. I actually made a schedule last summer when I was still working so DH would know what needed done every day :: we worked opposite schedules so I didn't always know what he cleaned :: I've stuck to it even though I quit my job in September! The goal is to not have to clean on weekends so we can spend time together.
